Red-light camera opponents seeking signatures

The drive-thru petition signing event will be from 3 to 6 p.m. today at the Iowa City Pit Stop, 300 Kirkwood Ave., and from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday. Participants do not need to get out of their car to sign but must be an Iowa City resident.

Those opposed to red-light cameras need 2,500 signatures by April 1 for the petition to be considered for adoption by the Iowa City Council or to go to a public vote in November. The signing event is being sponsored by StopBigBrother.org with volunteers from Young Americans for Liberty, ACLU of Iowa and College Republicans.
